I'm looking for music player software that I can install on a 4GB thumb drive, it has to be small (so I have more room for music) and use as little system resources as possible. If it was compatible with Linux and Windows that would be great, but if not I would prefer it be compatible with Windows.

I have been looking around, but I do not have time to try out every option available, so I thought this would be a good place to get some help. So what are some of the best options?
